If you've ever been to a German themed market you'll already have been introduced to the Würste or German sausage in one form or other - most likely the Frankfurter or the Bratwurst. However, there is a museum in Berlin solely dedicated to the Currywurst - a delicacy of sliced sausage with a generous helping of curry sauce on top! The museum offers a lighthearted and fun insight into the history and culture of this snack - a true icon of Germany! We can of course make your clients itinerary as unusual as they wish so please do contact us now on europe@akorndmc.com

To the astonishment of locals in Royan, in the west of France, an island appeared off the coast following the horrendous storms in 2009. Although the island, located a 20 minute boat ride away from the mainland, is attracting attention from tourists scientists are concerned about the impact this is having on the newly created habitats. At present the island remains unnamed (hence the nickname "L'île Mystérieuse") and there are moves to make the area into a marine conservation park. It is hoped that valuable research can take part on the island as well as people being able to enjoy it, but in a responsible manner. Our Paris, Loire Valley and Bordeaux itinerary heads over to the west coast of France - a fantastic region for nature lovers.

From May 2010 the Golden Lane area of the Prague Castle district will close for renovation. It is unclear how long this closure will last, but it is thought it will be at least a year. The work will include renovation work to the houses and roofs, as well as renewal of some of the underground services. Due to the historic nature of these narrow streets it is likely that fascinating archaelogical finds will be made, and therefore time is being allowed to carefully carry out the project. As well as all the other fascinating sights around Prague, the Rozembergsky Palace will open during the closure of Golden Lane. To arrange your clients stay in Prague contact us at europe@akorndmc.com, to ensure they don't end up at closed gates!

The Kunsthaus, Zurich's Museum of Fine Arts in Switzerland, will be the home to an exclusive Pablo Picasso exhibition, featuring sixty original pieces of artwork between 15th October 2010 and 30th January 2011. Interestingly Picasso's first ever museum exhibition was shown at the Kunsthaus back in 1932, curated by the artist himself. If you have a group of art lovers wishing to catch this unmissable exhibition then why not organise them a journey through Europe appreciating work by Picasso's contemporaries, such as Paul Gauguin? For example the Tate Modern in London is housing a Gauguin Exhibition between the 30th September 2010 and 16th January 2011.
